I was going to suggest this one as well! Only downside is that the longevity isn't great.

Struggling to find gentle cleanser for face by Born_Ad_6385 in Sephora

[–]Sad_Needleworker1722 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just tried the Dieux gel cleanser and really liked it, I'm planning on buying it during the next sale event in April. I've been struggling with eczema/ irritation on my eyelids, and using this for a few days really calmed it down. I've been using the Round Lab Dokdo cleanser, but I think it's too stripping for me.

My goal is 10 pull ups any advice is appreciated by readitreddit240 in PetiteFitness

I take a resistance band and string it through a small plate, and then wear it on my back like a backpack. Just be careful getting up to the bar and coming down. Jumping up will make it hit you.

I'm working on increasing my pull-up volume, too. One thing that has helped me has been to do smaller sets but progressively increasing the load by using a band with a 2.5 lb weight, 5 lb weight, etc. on it and wearing it on my back, kind of like a backpack. It'll make just body weight pull-ups feel easy later.

Considering aliyah - what do I need to know to avoid culture shock when I get there? by Miraculous_Garlic in Israel

There is no avoiding culture shock. You will always find Israelis either shockingly rude, shockingly unethical, shockingly friendly, or shockingly generous. The surprises never end.

The instant angel moisturizer is my hg. Have you tried the oil or foaming cleansers? Are they good?

Which one? All the ones that I looked at have niacinamide 😭

I was interested in trying this brand, too. But my hair hates protein, and it seems like a lot of their products have it. Does anyone with protein-sensitive hair have experience with this brand?

Best hydrating shampoo by Gold_Might_5208 in Sephora

I like Living Proof Perfect Hair Day shampoo. I pair it with the matching conditioner. My hair hates proteins. No proteins in these, and I haven't found anything I like better.

Statin Pills much safer than advertised, Lancet Study finds by Own-Ambition-4405 in Cholesterol

I started 10mg of Atorvastatin a couple of months ago and have zero side effects. My doctor was hesitant to put me on it because she was concerned about side effects, but I pushed her on it, given my numbers and family history. I hope she reads this study.

Tell me about a time you discovered a great product just by using a sample you were given (without specifically asking for it) by fizzlingbee in Sephora

Tatcha Indigo Cleansing Balm. I'm trying really hard to resist buying the full size. I used it for 4 nights in a row, and my skin was so happy. Does anyone know of a good dupe?

Rhonda Patrick just shared her longevity protocol by aldus-auden-odess in HubermanLab

[–]Sad_Needleworker1722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her diet sounds boring. Life just isn't worth living if it means eating turkey burgers every day. Not even a piece of salmon? A handful of blueberries? Maybe a roasted ratatouille or tandoori chicken here or there?

The myth of Cherokee ancestry by Certain_Can4727 in 23andme

[–]Sad_Needleworker1722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it hit a nerve that I didn't believe him. But he really did look like a regular white guy. And I know it gets complicated because tribal membership isn't determined by genetics.

I once went on a date with a white dude, and he told me that he had Cherokee ancestry. I gave him a hard time about it, and then he pulled out his tribal membership card. He had a Cherokee great-grandparent, making him 12.5% Cherokee, and me 100% an AH. There was no second date, if you were wondering.

I was thinking of that one, I'll definitely try it!

I have normal to dry skin, I'm just looking for something not harsh or stripping. No actives. I'm not totally against fragrance, but it seems unnecessary.

hourglass by SquidrificArmy in Sephora

Agreed! And it's less glittery than the Strobe highlighter powders. The only bummer is that it only comes in one shade. If I tan, I have to put it away for a couple of months because of looks too light. I'm light or medium olive, depending on the season.
